Depression Anxiety Recovery Program
Many of us will experience depression and/or anxiety at least once over our lifetime – the Depression Anxiety Recovery Program (DARP) will give you some tools to help add colour back into your life… though DARP is much more than just that; it will also help you to optimise your brain – so this is for everyone!
Come along to an Information Session at the Church Hall, 12 Alpha Street, Papakura:
* Monday 22 March at 1.00 pm or 6.30 pm
* Monday 29 March at 1.00 pm or 6.30 pm
The program will run for 8-weeks, starting on Monday 12 April and each session is two hours, with a video from Dr Neil Nedley, the program creator; and a one hour facilitated session by our DARP trained volunteers – there will be two different times to choose from… either 12.30 pm or 6.30 pm.
To attend our 8-week sessions, you need to register at one of the Information Sessions. There is a amazing special deal on the DARP program at the moment – instead of $200.00, we are giving you a 50% off deal… so for just $100.00 you can change your life!
For more information, email hello@papakurasda.org.nz or come along to one of the Information Sessions.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
